Many people, including myself, confuse OCD and perfectionism, and this article was a great clarification. OCD is definitely an overused term in today's society, and some people claim to have it as if it is a badge of honor. These people fail to realize that OCD is crippling to those who have it; being constantly bombarded with obsessive, intrusive thoughts must incredibly stressful. Fortunately, based on this article, it appears I fall into the perfectionist category. I am definitely a person that takes a 10-minute task like drafting an e-mail or writing this comment into a 30-minute ordeal because the words need to be just right. Moreover, I frequently check door locks and the security alarm before I leave my house, though not to the extent of a person with OCD.Ryan McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409764638431613116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561500253484399755.post-26514281557157358622016-06-23T15:28:31.730-07:002016-06-23T15:28:31.730-07:00Very nice, I have to agree with you, I hear people...Very nice, I have to agree with you, I hear people everywhere everyday basically bragging about how they have and suffer from OCD, they don't really consider the fact that its really a struggle living with OCD and that the individuals that are actually suffering with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder aren't just bragging about it. But i like how you explained the difference between the two most people do not think of perfectionism as quickly as OCD. Along with the text, you helped me better understand OCD and also Perfectionism.

I think we hear people say they have OCD too often. This can be a serious disorder that may really affect an individual’s life. The blog you attached was interesting and informative. I think the text also did a great job at explaining the disorder. OCD is a phobia that incorporates an avoidance response (Powell, p. 361). Because of this, it is important that those who have OCD see a professional for help. Exhibiting OCD behaviors on a daily basis may get in the way of being in social groups or working in an office space, which may then affect an individual’s relationships and their ability to pay bills and live in a healthy environment. However, like you said, it is important that people recognize the difference between perfectionism and OCD. While they run parallel to each other, they are two different concepts. <br /><br />Reference:<br /><br />Powell, R., Honey, P., Symbaluk, D. (2013). Introduction to learning and behavior.

However the people who have been diagnosed with OCD, physically can not function throughout a day if something is not a certain way.
